Error creating a Category with the REST API

[jmedd]

vRO 7.0.1

I am trying to create a Category in the Workflow Root folder using the REST API.

URL = https://vroserver.fqdn:8281/vco/api/categories

Method = POST

The API docs suggest the body should be like this:

{

  "categoryType": "WorkflowCategory",

  "name": "Test5",

  "description": "Testing"

}

However, I only ever get a 400 Response: The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect.

which the docs translate to: Category name must be specified

Can anyone help?

Request body should be:

{
   "type":"WorkflowCategory",
   "name":"Test5",
   "description":"Testing"
}

Great, thanks!

Would be a good idea for someone to update the documenation (see attached image)
